From single-floor refreshes to full-property relocations, we build the move around your hotel, not the other way around.

Hospitality Moving Services in Vancouver and Burnaby
Hotel Renovation & FF&E Moves
Renovating a floor, a wing, or an entire property — including brand-mandated Property Improvement Plan (PIP) work? We move furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) out of guest rooms and common areas ahead of construction, and back in once the work is done — in phases if that's what your timeline needs.
Warehouse Storage
Mid-renovation, furniture and fixtures often need somewhere to sit for weeks or months. We offer warehouse storage so your outgoing FF&E has a home until it's needed again, is redistributed to other properties, or is ready for disposal. Where items are being retired, we can route what's reusable to recycling or donation rather than straight to landfill.
Staging Moves
Getting a model room or show suite ready for sales and marketing? Our staging moves team handles the moving side — bringing in display furniture and setting it up to spec.
Furniture Disassembly & Assembly
New guest room furniture usually arrives flat-packed, and outgoing furniture often needs to come apart to clear doorways and hallways. Our crew handles both ends of that job.
Packing and Unpacking
Whether it's a single floor or an entire property, we can pack guest room and common-area items before the move and unpack them at the other end, so rooms are guest-ready sooner. This covers both FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) and OS&E (operating supplies and equipment) like linens, glassware, and guest amenities. For front-desk terminals, back-office servers, and AV gear, see our IT equipment moving services.
Loading and Unloading, Plus After-Hours Scheduling
Loading docks, freight elevators, and service corridors all have their own timing constraints in a working hotel. We coordinate around them, including overnight or early-morning moves when that's what keeps guests undisturbed.
Moving Around Hotel Operations
A hotel move has to fit alongside a business that doesn’t stop running. A few things we plan for on every hospitality project:
- Occupied floors stay occupied – We route equipment and furniture through service corridors and freight elevators wherever possible, away from guest traffic.
- Protecting finishes – Lobbies, hallways, and elevators in hospitality properties often have finishes that a standard move doesn’t need to worry about — marble, hardwood, wallpaper. We use corner guards, floor runners, and elevator padding to protect them.
- Street and loading-bay access – Downtown Vancouver properties often mean permit-only curb space and narrow service lanes. We build truck staging and any parking permits into the plan ahead of time, rather than sorting them out on the morning of the move.
- Phased timelines – Large properties rarely move all at once. We can work floor by floor or wing by wing to match your renovation or relocation schedule.
- Coordination with your team – Property managers, general contractors, and designers are often all working the same timeline — we plug into that schedule rather than running a separate one alongside it.
What Affects the Cost of a Hospitality Move
Pricing depends on the volume of furniture and equipment, crew size, the number of days or phases involved, and whether storage is part of the job. A single-floor refresh costs less than a full-property relocation, and moves with a lot of after-hours work usually take more planning than a standard daytime move. A few things that help keep a hospitality move on budget:
- Share an accurate inventory early – The more we know about what’s moving before the walkthrough, the tighter the quote.
- Break the project into phases – Spreading the move across your renovation timeline, instead of concentrating it into one large job, spreads the cost out too.
- Decide on outgoing furniture ahead of time – Knowing what’s being stored, donated, or disposed of before moving day cuts down on time spent sorting on site.

3. The crew executes – Our team moves, stores, or stages your FF&E on the agreed timeline, with minimal disruption to guests and staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you schedule moves on weekends or evenings?
Yes, We operate seven days a week, including weekends and evenings, so we can build the schedule around your property instead of standard business hours.
How much does a hotel FF&E move cost?
It depends on the volume of furniture and equipment, how many crew and days the project needs, whether the work runs after hours, and whether storage is involved. A single-floor refresh and a full-property relocation are very different jobs. Send us your project details and we’ll scope a quote to your property — there are no hidden fees, and you’ll have the number before work begins.
How is our furniture and equipment protected during the move?
President Movers is fully licensed and insured. Basic valuation coverage applies to every move, and additional valuation coverage is available if you’d like a higher level of protection on high-value FF&E. We’ll confirm which applies to your project in writing before work begins — see our insurance and claims policy for details.
What happens if our renovation timeline shifts?
Construction schedules move — it happens. We build some flexibility into our planning and will adjust dates with you where we can. The earlier you flag a change, the easier it is to accommodate.
How far in advance should we book a hotel renovation move?
There’s no strict minimum, but the earlier you reach out once your dates are set, the more flexibility we have to plan crew size and equipment around your project.
Is there a minimum or maximum length for storage?
Storage timelines are flexible — from a few weeks during a short renovation to several months for a longer project. Let us know your expected timeline when you book.
Can you handle heavy kitchen equipment or other specialized items?
Flag it when you book. Heavy or specialized equipment needs the right crew and handling plan, so give us the details in advance and we’ll confirm exactly what’s involved before moving day.
How quickly can we get a quote?
Often the same day. Reach out with your project details and we’ll get you a timeline quickly, rather than leaving you waiting on a callback.
What if we need to change the scope after booking?
Let us know as early as possible — we can usually adjust crew size or timeline to match a change in scope, though last-minute changes may affect pricing.
